Water torch
Scorched my sink
Water here's
Not safe to drink

The government
Still claims it's clean
My dogs are dead
Lead poisoning

The mates who've drowned in hellish drains
Are honored by their stoic names
So spark your smoke and free your flame
We fearless sailors know no shame

I'm proud to die beside a friend
We'll ride these vessels to unknown ends
A cloud of smoke,three fearless grins
Our kin will brave hells seas again
